"Parting is all we know of heaven, and all we need of hell." Emily Dickensen
Slender fingers rubbed across the cub's smooth fur, feeling the tenderness of its being, the soft grace that was its life essence flowing directly beneath her skin. Crystin turned, no drama to her actions as her eyes met Onimaru's. "It is done then. The Holy Knight has unsealed you and bound this world's fate all at once. All but the foreguard have been removed and relocated into the designated stronghold. All but Enzeru's strange band are with us in this, so far as my world implies and all of your world now rests safely away from that hell hole." No, they would not reside in a place they knew to be under direct attack, particularly not when a side door had been so freely opened for them. "It played as you asked, Onimaru, just as you delivered what I had asked. No, I didn't bring her. Kiassa wanted a chance at redemption." The word was accompanied with that familiar smile, rose lips finding the perfect edge to lace with honey. "He is leading the regement we left as a distraction. The ruse will not hold, but so much holy energy in one place will undeniably destroy any pattern of darkness our passing might have left. Kiassa is to be sure of that, and to kill the Treerunner if opportunity present itself... don't give me that look, my Lord Onimaru, I didn't ask him to sacrifice himself, only to prove himself."
Fingertips resumed their play over coal black fur. She had kept only a few of the wild children. Enough to be... useful. "Everything is ready for the next stage."
